I’ve never even seen a sticker book at mine. I have a feeling someone (or several someones) is there Wednesday when the truck comes and grabs all the good stuff. It would explain why sometimes my TM seems to never get in the things I read about here. Or maybe it’s just that this store doesn’t get the same shipments as the others. At least they got that Tim Holtz travel stamp platform. They just came in at my store check your store again next week.. they shoule be in by then..

Speaking of deals at Tuesday morning, what do you guys consider a good deal on paper pads? I haven’t really used them much in the past as I’m mostly a card maker, so I don’t notice prices for those. But.... I’ve been watching a lot of videos lately where they make a ton of cards from one paper pad. So what do you consider a good price for these sized pads? 6x6, 8x8 and 12x12?

At least they got that Tim Holtz travel stamp platform. We have three in town and one of them gets about 1/10th or less than what the other stores get in crafts. It just depends on how much your store sells in crafts. One of our stores is now getting $1.60 in stock for every $1 they sell.

Their paper pads are $2.99 for 6 x 6 and 12 x 12's are anywhere from $3.99-$7.29 for the pads. Some of the pads have 18 sheets, but most of them have 48. While these prices are definitely cheaper than Michaels and HL (generally even with a coupon- but not Hot Buy prices), I guess it would depend on the brand. Authentique and Graphic 45 are more expensive, but lots of the AC brands are pretty decent at $5.99. I haven't seen an 8 x 8 pad that I can remember. They do have 6 x 8 pads for $2.99 now and then.

Is anyone still finding Crate Paper’s Merry Days coming in? I have been to 4 of the stores in my area and only found the washi and gold stars. I think I am out of luck.

I went to mine today and they had lots of Disney/licensed paper/embellishment kits (Frozen, Paw Patrol, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), Disney stickers (Frozen and I think there were others although I don't remember which brand), and Disney stamps and dies (Little Mermaid, Cinderella, Beauty & the Beast, Mickey).
They also had quite a bit from the MME Well Hello line, including paper packs, chipboard stickers and 6x6 paper pads.

They had double sided craft tape at mine. I bought some. It's great for making box cards.
They had a few Disney things. There was a Brother machine and a Big Shot, but I already have them. Oh, and they had the Crafter's Companion Gemini machine, too. They had envelopes as well as card/envelope sets.
They had a fair amount of stuff, just not that much of interest to me.

I feel like the one I go to rarely has any of the great new stuff everyone is mentioning here. It’s over a hour away so o do go often but everyone I go, even on stick days, it all seems to be the same. O stopped by yesterday on my way to an appointment and there was only one new thing and I didn’t even feel it was worth going to the check kit and out it back.

I went yesterday and mine had a tiny bit from Snow & Coco, some older Dear Lizzy & Heidi Swap, & a bunch of We R Memory Keepers tools like the punch boards. If you're in the market for some We R Memory Keepers, it might be worth a look. I was most excited to find a new date stamp from the DIY line that included 2019. That's what I was actually looking for.

We also have lots of WRMK & I'm hoping the new pocket punch board shows up soon. I did see the new WRMK pom pom & bow makers.

We have three in town and two get great stuff and one gets stuff the other two don't. The managers at the other stores say that a store in the top ten or maybe 10% gets the best stuff (and for every $1 people spend on craft, they get $1.60 more) and both of mine do very well. The little store that is about a mile from my house gets very little.

Both of my stores had very little new stuff. One store will get up to four carts of stuff a week and the craft lady said they barely had half a cart.

My closest store started getting more craft stuff in a few months ago, and now it’s on the ebayer’s radar. Someone was taking literally every bit of Illustrated Faith off of the racks this morning, along with the best die and stamp sets. Dang, I’m going to have to start taking an earlier lunch on Wednesdays.
Spellbinder dies and more AC brand papers keep trickling in. Nothing too exciting.

I went to mine today and found the Pink Paislee Confetti Wishes 6x6 paper pad. I have a bunch of other stuff from that line, so I actually bought 3 of the pads. I also got a cute set of Girl Power Thickers.
I was shocked when I walked down the aisle because since last week, someone majorly cleaned up the craft aisle! Before, it was a huge mess, with lots of pegs that were so full you couldn't look through them without knocking stuff off and then other areas where there was hardly anything on a peg. Someone went through and spread everything out AND organized it by type of product/brand (where possible), so all the Spellbinders dies were on one peg, all the Thickers on another, etc. It was SOOOOOO amazing! I told the woman at the registers that whoever did it deserves praise!

One of my stores had some of the BB IF stuff. I picked a few pieces that had enough useful elements to be worth the cost and then threw away all of the religious pieces when I got home. One of them literally only had 1 sticker that had to be pulled off, but I tossed all of the crosses as well (those particular ones could have been pluses but I struggle to use those, too so nbd).
Both of the stores I went to today had a bunch of 6x6 and 12x12 MH. Chasing Dreams, Carousel and Gather. One had a 6x8 with foiling in it, but I don't remember which line it was from and I didn't look closely because I don't really care for most of her stuff.
Lots of the HS letters are coming in. I grabbed a couple teal letter sets on clearance from HL a while ago, but the little ones have tiny round pegs on the back and they aren't all straight (cheaply made). When I went to use them, I couldn't get half of the letters to sit properly on the board, but the large white letters I got to use as a secondary font on my DCWV board in my office has wide pegs that will definitely sit straighter. Now that they've come down to earth on the prices ($20 for a set of alphas when the most expensive for DCWV is like $5 and better quality because they were before the AC acquisition) they are nice to pick up at TM. I hope they get some more word options as I like the font but none of the words have really jumped out at me as useful for crafty quotes. In addition to a few fonts in varying sizes and a mixture of word sets (months, menu themed, faith and family based), they also have a couple of icon sets. I would have grabbed one if I felt I'd ever use them.

I stopped in today and picked up a few things to add to my Disney kit and my general stash. Some Thickers, Jen Hadfield Patio Party stickers, AC Everyday letter stickers, PL enamel dots/hearts, FP The Bright Side 6x6 paper pad, and AC DIY Shop cork arrow stickers. If only they had The Bright Side and Patio Party 12x12 paper pads. I would have been in scrappy heaven!
And I told myself no more 6x6 paper pads but I couldn't resist those colors.

Amy Tangerine washi tape pack from Sunshine & Good times
Here and There embossed puffy stickers
Crate Paper Heart Day ephemera
Dear Lizzy sticker book from 2012
Dear Lizzy washi strip book from 2014
Thickers: Sparkling, Jen, and Memo
Maggie Holmes Style Board gold word stickers
Poolside 12x12 Chipboard
And I also picked up Sweet Sugarbelle cookie pouches
Definitely a successful trip!
